This folder contains zipped data folders for Pitonakova, L., Crowder, R. and Bullock, S.: Task Allocation in Foraging Robot Swarms: The Role of Information Sharing, to appear in Proceedings of the The Fifteenth International Conference on the Synthesis and Simulation of Living Systems (ALIFE 16).

Each zip file corresponds to one group of data.
The data is used by the analysis python code.

Legend to the folders:
========================

PEL_basicModel: swarm without self-regulation (control swarm)
PELNONSOC: swarm with non-social self-regulation
PEL: swarm with social self-regulation


Legend to the sub folders:
========================
The subfolder names start with environment type. The following environments types are used:

*group[N]-[M]E* : Heap environments (large worksites), where N is number of worksites, M is worksite distance from the base. The ‘E’ letter has no significance.
*rand[N]-[M]* : Scatter environments (small worksites), where N is number of worksites, M is worksite distance from the base.

Additionally, depending on experiment and controller type, each folder is labelled with its own parameters. The most significant parameter is fP that specifies the unloading bay handling time (named t_H in the paper), measured in simulation update loops (each second has 10 update loops). See the folder ‘experiments’ in the simulation code folder to match other parameter shortcuts to parameter names.
